Subform VII: Scientific Study

1. Study Reference

Title In vitro Chromosome Aberration Test in Chinese Hamster V79 Cells

Date 08-SEP-11

2. a) Is an extension needed to translate the document?

No

3. Type of incident identified in the study

New health or environmental hazard

4. Describe the incident identified in the study (e.g. study demonstrates an increased risk to non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma after exposure to pesticide X)

CGA 321113 ((E,E)-methoxyimino-[2-[1-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-ethylideneaminooxymethyl]-phenyl]acetic acid [CAS# 252913-85-2]), a plant, livestock, soil, and rat metabolite of trifloxystrobin, was concluded to be clastogenic in an in vitro chromosome aberration assay in V79 cells Chinese hamster at the two highest evaluated concentrations with and without metabolic activation. Cultures were exposed for 4 hours up to 150 g/ml in the absence of S9 mix and up to 600 g/ml in the presence of S9 mix. For both conditions, cells were harvested 18 hours after the beginning of treatment. Cytotoxicity was observed in the absence of S9 at 125 and 150 g/ml and in the presence of S9 from 375 g/ml and above. An increase in aberrations was observed at the two highest evaluated concentratons, 100 and 125 g/ml without S9 and 350 and 400 g/ml in the presence of S9. Only one valid trial was performed in this study.

5. a) Was the study discontinued before completion?

No

5. b) Provide the reason for discontinuation

6. If the study is ongoing, what is the expected completion date?

For Registrant use only

7. Provide supplemental information here

No evidence of genotoxicity was observed in in vitro mutagenicity assays (Ames and HPRT) or in in vivo assays (unscheduled DNA synthesis and mouse micronucleus) on this metabolite. Thus, the overall weight of the evidence indicates that this metabolite is not genotoxic. The reports for the complete set of genotoxicity studies are available upon request.
